Kosher Search Engine Released

Yeah, we can’t make this stuff up. Devout Jews now have a search engine of their very own that is kosher. Dubbed "Koogle", it blocks material that is religiously objectionable, such as pictures of women that Orthodox rabbis feel are immodest.

Its links to Israeli news and shopping sites also filter out items most ultra-Orthodox Israelis are forbidden by rabbis to have in their homes, such a television sets. "This is a kosher alternative for ultra-Orthodox Jews so that they may surf the Internet," Altman said by telephone.
